Today I walked down our old street
Past the diner where we´d meet
Now I dine alone in our old seats
The cold wind blows right through my bones
And I feel like I´m getting old

But I wish I was getting old with you
I held your hand while we took shelter from the rain
She laughed as we picked out our children´s names

White sparrows fell from heaven and carried her away
Black arrows cut the strings of my heart,
I kneel and pray

Her clothes hang in the closet still
The phone sits on the windowsill
And every time it rings it gives me chills
My heart just stopped when I was told
Doctor, doctor, on the phone
Said my love was never coming home
I hold your casket gently walking to the grave
Dark clouds eclipse the sun won´t shine again

White sparrows fell from heaven and carried her away
Black arrows cut the strings of my heart,
I kneel and pray
They gave her one more day
To say the words I couldn´t say
I´m crying in pain, crying in pain

And I´m not looking for answers
No, I´m not looking for answers
But dear God, why did you choose her?

White sparrows fell from heaven and carried her away
Black arrows cut the strings of my heart,
I kneel and pray
They gave her one more day

To say the words I couldn´t say
I´m crying in pain (crying in pain)
Crying in pain
Our love will remain
I´m crying in pain.
